Can't uninstall flash player

The operation times out and I get an error code saying it can't be deleted. The Flash player install pops up almost every 15 minutes. I can't install an older or newer version either. I have cleared all cache, attempted to run OnyX and was unsuccessful. I attempted to delete Flash from library and a block read that the file can't be deleted. I attempted clear Flash from plug ins and error code 100022 popped up saying that operation can't be completed because of an unexpected error.
HELP is desperately needed. The Flash Player version is 11.5.502.409. OS version is 10.7.5.

Try Flash Player uninstaller from Adobe site.

I can't uninstall flash player 10.0.45.2??

I completed a vulnerability scan today (I use Kaspersky anti-virus if that matters) and it came up with three vulnerable applications like adobe player 9.0 and shockwave 11.5.1
I came to the site and came across some security updates from last year about version 10.0.45.2 being affected. I tried uninstalling it since this is the only visible version on the add or remove program list. At first it appears to be unistalling but before it finishes, the uninstall window moves past the edge of the screen so I can't get rid of it. I don't know what to do? I already installed the newest version but that old one is still there.
Any suggestions are appreciated
Thanks

You don't state it explicitly, but from your description it appears that you are using Windows.
Download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html, save it to disk, then close all browser instances and run the downloaded uninstaller.
This will uninstall all FP versions, so you will need to install the latest version again.
If you still have problems, please post your Windows version (including 32-bit or 64-bit), and your browser & version.

I can't reinstall Flash player OR uninstall it.

I have a Windows 8 laptop and I use Mozilla Firefox to access the internet. I keep getting a message saying " Adobe Flash Player has crashed". I am unable to send a report for some reason. I updated Flash, thinking that is the problem but I still keep getting the same message. So out of desperation, I tried to uninstall it and was only able to uninstall Flash Reader (when I tried to uninstall Flash Player, I keep getting a message saying that I need to close Mozilla) I close Mozilla and STILL says I need to close it and wont let me update OR uninstall it. I am getting very frustrated. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Before Uninstalling, Can you please ensure no Firefox process is running in the back-end.
1) Open Task Manager
2) Find Firefox Process, and End the Process and Try Uninstalling Flash Player again.
This happens sometimes, you have your application closed yet an instance of the same process keeps running in the back-end but is not visible on the UI.
Hope this Helps.

I can't install flash player at all, not matter what browser is in !

Hi
I have this annoying problem with my Flash Player, I can't install it no matter what i browser it is in. When eg. I have to play a video from youtube, I can't use IE (Internet Explorer) to play it in, but in Googles Chrome and in Mozillas Firefox, there it works without any problem.
Another problem is also when I am going into www.adobe.com in IE, then it says - For the complete experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser. Thank you! , the script is active in the internet settings, I have check, but it is still not working.
If I uninstall Flash Player totally, and I would like to installed it again, I can't do it,, not matter what browser, it just stops, when iI try to install it . There is no problem installing or updating, Air, Shockwave. In this matter Flash Player will not cooperate at all, it will not let we installed it at all.
New I have tryed is that I installed the new flash player 16 demo, there were no problem in the installation, but it will still work in IE. It still says - For the complete experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser. Thank you! on www.adobe.com and it still not works on youtube.com. The script is active in the internet settings, I have check, but it is still not working.
I hope anymore is interresting in helping me in this annoying problem !
Regards
Peter

How can I get Flash Player and install it?

I29/Aug/2010 17:37
TO: Adobe Forum
I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
How can I get Flash Player and install it?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Barry Karas

First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8

I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8, it supposedly downloads but then I can't find it, when I search for flash player in downloads in the finder, I get three choices:
1. Adobe flash player install manager: when I click on this, the options are either to quit or uninstall.
2. Flash Player: when I click on this, it shows me Flash Player in the finder, when I click on that, it leads me to install it again.
3. Install Adobe Flash Player: just taked me back to install it again.
But it never seems to install or open.
Any help would be great, thanks!!

Need help uninstalling Flash Player to do a clean install.

Hi,
I'm feeling pretty stupid now, since I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.
I'm running Windows 7/ 64 bit. I've got Flash player version 11.1.102.63
I'm having Spotify problems, and Spotify support asked me to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player before reinstalling Spotify. But I can't seem to get the blessed thing to uninstall.
I'm following the directions here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
I've killed everything killable on the toolbar. I've checked with Task Manager to see if any applications are running (none are). There are still processes running I've run the uninstaller in Administration mode and in user mode and in every mode I can think of, but when I restart after uninstalling, I've still got the Flash Player installed-- same version. I get no error messages when I run it, it just (apparently) doesn't work.)
Any ideas? Any stupid mistakes I might be making?
Thanks!
Cheryl

Can't Uninstall Flash CS3 Professional

Yes I've looked around the web and Adobe forums. There's a whole mess of things I'm trying to fix right now so I might as well start from top and keep it compact. Scroll down to where it says "Let's recap" if you wanna get a summary of my technical issues. It may scare away some of you, but please at least someone respond. (ps all links are put here purposefully by me)
I joined a site called newgrounds and became fascinated by flash movies there. I found a link which lead me to Flash CS3 Professional free trial download page. I installed the program without a single problem. But after installation & restarting I couldn't find flash in there at all instead I found these (screenshot). I asked for help on newgrounds, and got advice to install CS4 instead. First I attempted to uninstall CS3, but it will only let me uninstall the Flash Player 9 ActiveX Component and not the program. I looked this up and the solution seemed to be CS3Clean Script. However I have two problems: first off I can't backup my files like recommended because the backup drive doesn't have enough room, which means 7.63GB out of 10GB is somehow being used (screenshot). If I decided to run CS3Clean Script without backing up my data I'd get a message telling me I need to install Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. (screenshot) Which leads me to my second problem. When I run the file to install "Windows Installer CleanUp" (just downloaded) I get this error. What does it mean? Because I am on the Administrator's account so I don't understand why I don't have privileges.
That's all of it!
Let's recap:
+Can't Uninstall "Flash CS3 Professional" Trial
+Can't use "CS3Clean Script" to Uninstall Flash unless "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" is installed
+Can't Install "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" because of this error
Minor-ish problem slightly related---> Can't back up data in case something else goes wrong!
ps Did I scare any of y'all away yet?

installation all over again.

Hi,
Google Chrome pre-installs the Flash Player in their browser. That is why it is showing as installed in the screen-shot you posted. Firefox does not pre-install Flash Player. You didn't specify how you uninstalled Flash Player. Did you use the Flash Player entry in the Control Panel or the uninstaller? The uninstaller will uninstall all versions of Flash Player on the system, except for the version pre-installed with Google Chrome, however, you can disable that by navigating to chrome://plugins. You may need to click on the '+' sign next to 'details' in the upper right to view all installed plugins.

I can not download flash player on my Mac

I have a Mac with OS 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1. Since some time I am not able to upgrade or download flash player on my Mac (latest version 15.0.0.152). from the Adobe download center. Every time I try Safari gets stuck at step 2 of 3 (initialization) and keeps refreshing the page. To start fresh, I tried to uninstall flash player by downloading the uninstall .dmg offered at the flash player help page on the adobe website - even that one I can't download; if I click on it, it only refreshes the page and nothing else happens. So I uninstalled it "by hand", but I am not sure that I removed absolutely everything... Not sure if that matters. Apparently a plugin called SpeedTao is used by the Adobe website. Could there be a problem with that? I can not do anything to enable / disable / reset etc SpeedTao; Internet plugins are allowed and I have allowed adobe to use SpeedTao when it asks me for it.
I saw that someone else posted a similar question, but it remained unanswered; I could not find an answer...

Hi leronica,
The Flash Player download page does not use the SpeedTao Download Manager. This must've been installed on your system at some other time. If you suspect SpeedTao is interfering with the Flash Player installation, and don't require SpeedTao on your system, you can remove it using a utility such as AppCleaner, or delete 'all' SpeedTao files (/Applications/SpeedTao.app, ~/Library/Preferences/net.speedtao.mas.SpeedTao.plist, ~/Library/Application Support/SpeedTao). Removing just SpeedTao.app from /Applications doesn't completely remove it and Safari will still list it in the Plug-ins (I verified this before posting my response). If you require, or don't want to remove, SpeedTao, you can try using the full installer, posted at the bottom of this page, Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac.

I can not install flash player activeX

Hi, For some reason I had to uninstall Flash Player Plugin Istaller Active X and Flash Player. Although he has performed all procedures and automatic aid two days have passed and I can not install the Active X control As part of the 'install it I get a notification saying actual words (translated from Italian into English):
The Adobe Flash Player ActiveX is not attempting to install the latest. Visit http://......................player_it to get the latest and most secure.
This message appears just downloading from the site recommended and everything is really frustrating. My OS is VISTA64x Home Premium and the problem persists on both IE8 IE8 x64 x32.
Also stress that I have not installed any ActiveX flash player so why do I feel that I try to install the version that is not especially since the most recent discharge from the link that that message would you recommend?
I hope someone is able to say once and for all how to solve this problem.
Sincerly Jinjetto

Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.
Thanks,

Can not install flash player on Mac

I was informed by shutter fly that I needed to update flash player. After a couple of hours and several different attempts I was unsuccessful. I have since uninstalled flash player and tried to re-install to no avail. I am running OSX 10.9.5 and safari 7.0.6. When I run the regular install from website I click on the install now tab (step 1 of 3) and then am taken to another page that says initializing with a long blue bar (step 2 of 3). Very briefly am I then presented with some instructions to go to download folder, etc. I have tried this probably 50 times and can never read the instructions fast enough. It then takes me to a black screen. I have also tried the offline option and it also takes me to a black screen. I have checked my download folder and there is never anything in there related to flash player. Please help!!

Download the offline installer here:http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g
This is what I got.....
